The statement said that there is the new relationship between the United States and North Korea and that they will join efforts to build a lasting and stable peace regime in the Korean Peninsula. Both countries will also repatriate each other’s prisoners and missing persons.

Donald Trump also said that he was suspending military exercises on the Korean Peninsula and that he expected the North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, to move “very quickly” to dismantle his nuclear arsenal after a day of discussions in Singapore.
